Your consultation reviews the position of the teeth, the bite and the condition of any current retainer. The dentist explains which retainer options are available, how often the retainer should be worn and when follow-up is needed.

A retainer should be worn and cleaned exactly as directed. Keep a removable retainer in its case when it is not being used, and contact the clinic if it breaks, feels tight or no longer fits. Teeth can move after orthodontic treatment, and the recommended duration of retainer wear varies by case.
